Finding the right pay of foreign students in Australia

   Pay rates for many foreign students in Australia employees changed on 1 July 2010 - where their modern award has transitional arrangements. Pay rates (including loadings and penalties) under these modern awards will continue to change as the modern award rates of pay are phased in over a period of four years. The full modern award rates will apply from the first pay period on or after 1 July 2014. This transition period gives employers and employees time to adjust to the changes.  
   During this time, to calculate pay rates, you need to refer to the pre-modern award entitlement that used to cover the employee before 1 January 2010, as well as the relevant modern award entitlement. Where there was no existing loading or penalty applying under the existing instrument then the new loading or penalty in the modern award is also progressively introduced.
   Transitional arrangements do not apply under all modern awards. If your award does not include transitional provisions, the full modern award rates applied from 1 January 2010.
